I will not mourn Mitch McConnell when he finally croaks, he has spent 40 years robbing the people of Kentucky and the whole nation blind to fill the coughers of him and his corporate donors, I hope he rots in hell

I'm still thinking about the guy who saw me realize my wheelchair wouldn't fit in the elevator because he (also a wheelchair user) was already inside it and immediately quipped, "This elevator ain't accessible enough for the both of us."

No fandom has ever collectively mourned a character harder than Torchwood fans with Ianto Jones. Man said, "Don't forget me" and the entire fandom went BET, have a shrine which for 17 years has been decorated for each passing holiday where people to this day add art, notes and flowers.

It can be easy to confuse the two, but you don't actually "wish you were more disabled", you wish your disability was taken seriously and was properly accommodated and that you had access to the support and resources you need - and that desire is so valid. You deserve more. But the sad truth is that no level of disability actually guarantees a sufficient level of support. So you have to work to separate your very understandable desire for more support from the incorrect assumption that other disabled people are consistently receiving what you aren't. All of us are getting fucked over in this society, and no group of disabled people actually has it easy.

“The status quo is the best you’re gonna get” was the entirety of the Democratic platform for a full decade and Mamdani fucking annihilated it. I sure hope the Democratic Party doesn’t pursue physical retribution for politically destroying them like this.
